Some cosplayer who writes thing on occasion

Change of gears for a post. I will continue the remainder of Haseo in a little bit! This is a tutorial I wrote for a Pandora Hearts cosplay prop, B-rabbit’s scythe. At the time I did not have as much access to as many tools or materials as I do now (even now, I don’t think I would be able to bring insulation foam into my home). I also didn’t have as much knowledge about different building techniques for such large props. After explaining my method I will add a few notes of changes I would make now, or different ways to do certain parts. Read More →

Anther multi-part post! Trying to finish up the Haseo posts so I can get to slowly posting newer things :) The wig: I have always been a little afraid of wigs, my wig for my first form Haseo cosplay did not go over well. I didn’t like the pure white colour of it, it was too thin and it wasn’t long enough to do all the spikes. On top of all that, the back part didn’t even stay up correctly. However it had been a few years since that wig and I’ve learned a fair amount since then. I picked a non-white colour this timeRead More →

All of the previous pieces had much better build process/detail photos than all the remainders. For the most part I was either rushing these parts as the convention was racing up in me or they were done earlier in the process when I wasn’t taking as many photos. Next up, shoes! Reference photo, this time from the .Hack//Trilogy movie. These cannibalized a pair of boots that I didn’t like all that much, they were clipped down to fit the height of the shoe. I added a bit of pleather to the top to hide the edges caused by cutting the boot down, however most ofRead More →

Next up, bracers! These were the first piece I worked on, my first time ever using wonderflex to build anything. I didn’t include the red floating circle due to a time restriction. Again, a quick reference photo. Starting with the base of the piece. The middle is foam fit to just slide over my hand with two layers of wonderflex on the outside. As the shape was odd I used Model Magic to build up the base shape of it. Although super light weight model magic doesn’t hold up well on its own and will crack when drying since it shrinks, it is also notRead More →

Worn to Anime Revolution 2012, Haseo Xth Form There was far too much work on this cosplay to written up into one post so I’ll be posting a few pieces as at time. First, the cuisses (thigh armour). Quick reference of the piece, I mostly used references from the .Hack//G.U. Trilogy movie. Base piece patterns on wonderflex. A side note this is the size of a “Jumbo” or full sheet of wonderflex. All pieces cut then wonderflexed. One piece of foam to two pieces of wonderflex, double wonderflex containing a foam core to make the pieces solid. Top of the piece coming together, bottom wasRead More →
